Book excerpt: Bailey Jones has always been a misfit in a town that sets a lot of store on family lineage, old money and homes that overlook the Chesapeake. As he makes plans to leave Marshy Hope Creek for good, a couple of things delay his departure. A developer unearths a long-dead homicide victim on land that was his up until a few weeks ago. And Chloe Richards is back in town. The first piece of startling news sends a shiver down the spines of four of the town's most prominent citizens. Each of them has something from their past that could connect them to this discovery—with dire consequences. And the second piece of news sends a shiver down Bailey's back—a not unpleasant experience. As the gossip mill kicks into overdrive, an air of expectation settles over the town. It will be a long, hot summer.
